COUTURE HARLEQUINS BY DIOR

Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative designer of Dior has really the eye for a visual well told and well-presented spectacle. Her shows are meant to be the great performance alike. This time for the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2019 collection she has taken the theme of the circus not just on the ensembles but on the dancers and acrobats that have occupied the runway along the models. This whole plot has been in the perfect synchronization "per se" with the whole idea of what this collection was all about. Still, all of these happenings have kept the low key maintenance of this collection, the unpretentious note what Dior feels like under the creative direction by Maria Grazia Chiuri.

The theme of the circus has been developed as a hybrid of Dior classic style with some artistic boosts. This collection has got more embellishments, more shiny textures, more lightness and some kind of artful nostalgia kept on the eye make-up alluring the happy/sad clown faces or the feminine versions of stylish harlequins. But the clothes were anything than sad. They were very glamorous. The long flowy dresses with the deep cleavage, the fine textures in the "Plisse" game forming the stunning and so catchy silhouette in the moving. The glorious was definitely the mini-dresses. Very costume alike with the more sculpted forms and see-through effects made from sculptured chiffon.

Oh, talking about the short pieces. The pure stunningness was brought in the form of cape or "Pellerina" made from the tiny silky fusilli. With the same petite and effortless mini dress peaking underneath the visual masterpiece was on the perfect fleek! Or the golden rose long sweeping dress made from the silk and tiny "Plisse", again. The big bow in the middle of the deep cut front cleavage that allures the real nature of the current Dior and that is exquisite, glamorous, feminine and, yet still so easy to wear. And just to break this predictable spirit, Maria Grazia Chiuri sends to the runway her version of "Le Smoking" with the mini-dramatic tailcoat and pencil trouser in the mannerism of the "Maestro Of Festivity"! The whole story was closed with the golden organza long dress topping the gold-encrusted cap!

This collection was definitely the bolder and more heterogenic in the visual sense. The colors were light and vibrant, the textures were nice and flowy, the whole theme was very artistically well developed and presented. Seems like this side of Grazia Chiuri was more romantic but her femininity accentuated signature has stayed on. Which is simply the best thing that could happen at this moment not just fashion wise but furthermore.
